I have created MSI in visual studio 2005. 

Now i have a lots of issue related to this. One of them is it shows "Unable to install because newer version of this product is already installed." when lower version is installed.

I have already changed the Version so the Product-code and also set this Property to DetectNewVersionInstalled=false and RemovePreviousVersion=true.

It still shows Message, i have tried number of things but none of them working.

Now i want to disable this message. Installer should install the Product regardless of the what version is installed.. Lets say if same version is installed or lower version is installed or higher version is installed, in any case i want to install the prouduct.. Just like Inno setup. 

How can i disable this Newerversion validation?
